Do you USE your Sprints/Exclusives?

Appreciate everyone's responses. I should have been more clear in the OP. I wasn't asking between whether people use or don't use their sprints. But rather do you use your sprints as hard as regular production knives?

Just ordered a KW Exclusive 204p Military. Hope I can bring myself to use it without restraint like some of you guys here!
 
hell yes I do...have my M390 PM2 in my pocket right now.

I use all my knives equally.
 
Yep!

Honestly my daily use needs are pretty darn close to babying lol, but I don't hesitate to use my LE/Sprints/Exclusives from any company.
 
If I can get a sprint variety over a regular production model I try to! Being the case I no longer own 2 of any same model knife; so I use them for whatever task at hand.

I haven't had a situation (yet) where I've had to hard use this new to me CTS XHP Millie.

Absolutely. Many years ago I read this quote from Sal and found that I just had to use anything I owned. I couldn't let it die in the box.

"We've built a few collector pieces but most Spydercos are hungry and like to eat. As mentioned, open, close, cut, clean, oil, cut, cut, cut... To a Spyderco, that is living. All of the effort that we put into designing and building the knife is found in using the knife; The horsepower in the steel, the edge, the ergos, sophisticated mechanisms, carefully chosen materials or custom made materials, history of and refinements to the design, etc. Letting it die in the box is to lose 75% of what we put into it."

Love that quote...

This one has seen its fair share of use.

I buy my knives to use them. The fun thing is to try and discover different steels....

I'm certainly more that way than I used to be when I first joined these two great forums ( Spyderco.com & BF). I used to have far more "safe queens" than I did "users" or EDC blades. When I got my M390 Military and first used it>> well since then I haven't been able to put it down. It's turned out to be one of my Premier EDC folders and one I seem to carry the most anymore.

Yeah I agree with "Filoso" concerning the discovery of different blade steels>> because you don't know what you got until you actually test drive them and use them hard I might add.

Right at this time I'm in the process of discovering which steels make for the best Spyderedged blades. For that reason I wish we had more Spyderedged Sprint Runs.

One Sprint run I wish would become a fixture in the main line up and that would be the C-60, G-10 Handle Massad Ayoob model. And to also bring it back in Spyderedge like the original 2002 Ayoob model was.

In HAP40/SUS410 laminate with the spyderedge!
 
Yes I do! I don't see the point if you buy them to have them sit.

Now I will say, I do have one knife that I will never use.....my Thurens Prinsloo custom.







BUT.....aside from this knife, I use everything from a production to a sprint/exclusive.

Just got this today in the mail and it's going to get used just like the rest of my EDC rotation knives.
